Verb

save vs.

1. (transitive, role-playing games slang, nonstandard) In certain games, to successfully guard against a particular danger

Usage notes

• The verb virtually always must specify an object, and that object is usually some sort of threat.
• The "save vs. (object)" constructions are also often used as nouns, but save vs. by itself is not a noun.

  Did you manage to save vs. poison?

  No, my save vs. poison is terrible.
